November 2011
As we approach the end of the Fall Semester, I wish you all Happy Grading, with wonderfully insightful essays, and few grammatical whoppers! If, on the other hand, your students' research skills seem wanting, consider adding a library session to your next syllabus. Even the most research savvy students might not know the ins-and-outs of using the library effectively.

Some of these earlier theses are also being converted to full text, which adds another reason to check out this resource if you haven't lately. Click here to access.
